The Land Of Lies

June 23, 2011

It seems that Bloomberg took a new poll…. A majority of Americans say job growth would best be revived with prescriptions favored by the (Republican) party: cuts in government spending and taxes, the Bloomberg Poll shows. Even 40 percent of Democrats share that view. …. Though Americans rate unemployment and the economy as a greater [...]

Anxious To Cover The Crazy

June 16, 2011

I often say mean and ugly things about corporate teevee media. They deserve it, of course, and that's why I call many of media's "stars" the names that I do. One of the major beefs I have with teevee media is that it's players consider themselves to be Serious Professional Journalists doing Serious Professional Journalism. [...]

Failed State?

June 8, 2011

Deregulated mortgage brokers, real estate appraisers, and Wall Street sellers of derivatives and credit default swaps loosely conspired to bring the largest economy in the world to it's knees. The only people punished were average Americans who lost homes and home equity, jobs, health care, retirement savings…and hope. Bogged down over 3 years in a [...]

"Willfull Ignorance & Stubborn Stupidity"

June 3, 2011

Eric Alterman, contributor to The Nation, brings the shrill heat….. A quarter of Republicans questioned profess to believe that ACORN is definitely planning to steal the 2012 election while another 32 percent think it might be. These numbers are admittedly lower than the 52 percent who, in 2009, went on record accusing ACORN of having [...]

Facts Stubbornly Maintain Liberal Bent

May 27, 2011

Washington D.C.'s "Beltway Media" has been obsessed with national deficits and debt ever since the black Democratic President Obama took office. Before Obama took office, while the previous administration was doubling the national debt and exploding the deficit, very little was said about debt and deficits. No one noticed, I guess. The moment the new [...]

Whack-A-Winger

May 18, 2011

One blogger noticed that there were 8 Republicans and only one Democrat represented on last Sunday morning's "news" programs. The Democrats control the presidency and the Senate, and the Republicans control only the House….so 8-1 in favor of Republican representation is what our Professional and Serious corporate media regards as, you know, fair and balanced.

Financing Geezers "Extra Cable Channels"

May 16, 2011

Those in our main media who do nothing but service America's wealthiest citizens don't even try to hide it anymore. It's unseemly. Think about it. Those who service others for money, say, like, escorts….usually do their servicing in private. But it seems when it comes to media servicers like Washington Post columnist, Robert Samuelson, there's [...]

Justice By Assassination

May 4, 2011

We're being told that with the killing of Osama Bin Laden "justice has been done." For example, the Akron Beacon Journal is running a series of front page accounts with a small icon of Bin Laden next to the words "justice has been done." Is the assassination of one of our enemies "justice?" We now [...]

Media: "Sideshows And Carnival Barkers"

April 27, 2011

I'm sure you've heard by now….President Obama released his long form birth certificate on Wednesday. He brought his paddle with him to the microphone as he announced the birth certificate release…..and he put some serious and deserving welts on the asses of the mainstream, corporate media. Obama began his 5 minute announcement by decking the [...]

AB Journal Failing Its Readers

April 23, 2011

Making mistakes is human. Deception is another issue altogether. This morning's Akron Beacon Journal front page headline blares…."Partisan ideas could clash on ballot." The article is authored by Julie Carr Smyth of the Associated Press….and it starts out this way…. Voters in Ohio could get a chance this fall to weigh in on two divisive [...]
